As a hack, I definitely see some of the rebalancing you talk about. Preparing my tax return this month, i noticed a shift – whereas 80% of my work is usually print, last year it was closer to 60%.

More online work definitely, but what was also interesting was what the online work was – one editorial site, sure, but I wrote three corporate blogs last year and copy for a corporate portal – perhaps online journalism is going to be owned by different people than the offline stuff? This is certainly a shift for me, as usually less than 5% of my time is spent on writing for corporates, and this year maybe closer to 25%. That seems to me to be a combination of many of the trade mags cutting budgets but also the corporates investing in things like online mags, blogs, wikis and portals.

180 journalists, eh? Some sample. You are right about Thilk’s take. Love this graph: “Instead of complaining over the injustice of consumer-generated content taking readers away from the reporting an established outlet does, it would be better for those editors to look at what they might not be providing to the audience and seek to address that shortcoming. Change. Adapt. Improve.”
